The role of private military companies in UN peacekeeping missions
Sudakovová, Natália ; Hornát, Jan (advisor) ; Weiss, Tomáš (referee)
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to analyze the options of engaging private military companies (PMCs) in the UN peacekeeping mission, and to define specific areas of involvement in which a better outsourcing would help to improve peacekeeping operations. The thesis is focused on the issue of the security privatization, development of the sector and presents particular examples in which PMCs failed. It explains what kind of risks could be possibly connected to deployment of these companies in the conflict zone and what kind of regulation mechanisms exist in order to prevent such a scenarios in the future. The thesis examines also the issue of the transformation of peacekeeping, failures and the concept of robust peace operations that are often militarized. This development questions the basic values on which are peacekeeping missions based and also put the civilian protection into danger. Based on the theoretical examination of both actors, the bachelor thesis analyzes the fields in which PMCs could improve the UN realization of the missions and introduces the possible cons and pros of their involvement.
